Thread: Connections to FFT.

  1. #1

    Default Connections to FFT.

    Anyone know anything about any of that? I mean, I know the game is set in Ivalice, the country that FFT and FFTA are set in. Does anyone know if we're going to see familiar people/places in FF12? I mean, FFT has a lot of mysterious places in it, and I guess it would be neat to play a game set in the same land, but thousands of years earlier, so you could see how these places became what they are.

    It's a different Ivalice, but the races are there, and Montblanc makes an appearance.

    Really? Because the races weren't in Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was a dream.

    I wouldn't know why they would want to connect it to any of the other Ivalice games, although I wouldn't be surprised given the spin-off syndrome as of late. If anyone has a picture of its world map, that could settle this quickly.

    i've read in another thread that somebody had an official square source that confirmed it. but i think they said it was like a thousand years earlier so the geography may be different and also different races.

    in FFT they talk about how in ancient times airships existed. in FF12 we have seen airships, so maybe that's how it is.

    I think you're refering to the conversation in this thread.

    You'll find links to various sources, interviews of staff members (including Matsuno) and non-official throughout the posts I left there. I must add that since then, I've read another discussion on the same subject and that they came to the same conclusion, namely that it was the same world, but we aren't sure if it's on the same timeline but, like Paul said, about a millenium before FFT (there are a few hints in that direction, IMO, but nothing that allows us to say that for sure), or if they all are "parallel" worlds.....

    I strongly believe that the FF Tactics Ivalice and FFXII's Ivalice are the same.

    And this source states that FFXII takes place after FF Tactics.

    The geography of a planet takes much longer than a thousand years to change to the extent of what would be suggested to assume that all these Ivalices take place in the same universe. It would just be better to assume they don't take place in the same world, because, well, they don't.

    OR they're on a different peninsula that isn't mentioned in FFT?

    it's funny how some fans can't handle the idea of it being in the same world. like it makes a difference.

    Like I said earlier:

    The reason the geography is different is because FFXII takes place on the Galtea peninsula of a world called Ivalice. I don't believe the Tactics games referred to Galtea at all. So we've established that FFT and FFXII don't take place in the same region of Ivalice ,but Ivalice nonetheless.

    So in conclusion:FFXII and FFT do take place on the same world, the Galtea peninsula just wasn't visited/mentioned in FFT.

    Is that plausible?

    i've heard from an official source that it's the same world. i'm not arsed either way, but still a lot of people are like NO IT CAN'T BE THE SAME WORLD.

    i think it would be interesting if it was the same world, from a completely different time period... because FFT references how society used to be a lot more advance with ancient technology. and FF12 is certainly more technically advanced than FFT.

    but if this isn't the case it doesn't matter either. if square had said it was a different world, you wouldn't see me in here going "WELL MAYBE THEY SAID IVALICE BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME WORLD. IT IS!!"

    i dunno it was in some other thread, but it was official from square. i guess that's not concrete, but there's no sense really in praying or trying to prove to others that it is one way or the other when you don't really know.
